These two always rise when playing each other so no matter who you pick it will be a beauty.

The venue could be the deciding factor for this one, the Sea Eagles love Brookie and the bookies agree with Ladbrokes.com.au installing them as the $1.65 favourites.

When these two met back in Round six it was a close result, Manly narrowly winning by two points and with all that has happened this season expect another down-to-the-wire thriller.

But if you are looking for an upset, Melbourne could provide it here as Manly fullback Ben Farrar has been ruled out after injuring his knee last week and the remainder of the Sea Eagles will really need to step up in defence to win.

Michael Robertson will step in from the wing to play as fullback making room for young Will Hopoate to play.

Then again Justin O’Neill is out for the Storm, the flying winger replaced by Chase Stanley.

Adding it all up we are tipping the Sea Eagles at Brookvale as long as they get some early possession and convert this into points.

Footy Tip of the Match – Anthony Watmough to score the Sea Eagles’ first try at $11 through Ladbrokes.com.au

NRLleague Footy Tip of the Match:

Manly’s powerhouse back-rower Anthony Watmough is one of the best in the comp and has made the most metres for the Sea Eagles this season. If he can get the ball down the short side he is nearly impossible to stop, which is why we are backing Watmough to score Manly’s first try at $11 through Ladbrokes.com.au.
